You'll have to return the value from the function. I also simplified your loop a little bit by making it an infinite one we break out of.

def superhero_name_generator():
    print("Welcome to the superhero name generator:\nTo choose your name follow the instructions below")
    first_part = input("Please enter the name of the city you grew up in. ")
    second_part = input("Please enter the name of your pet or your favorite mythical creature (Ie. Dragon). ")
    superhero_name = first_part + second_part
    print("your superhero name is {}".format(superhero_name))
    return superhero_name


while True:
    name = superhero_name_generator()
    print("If you want to generate another name please press 1 to quit press 0")
    if int(input()) == 0:
        break

print("Go out and save the world,", name)

Function returns super hero name using return function.

I have used name list to add all the supre hero name to it, so that it print all name.

def superhero_name_generator():
    print("Welcome to the superhero name generator:\nTo choose your name follow the instructions below")
    first_part = input("Please enter the name of the city you grew up in. ")
    second_part = input("Please enter the name of your pet or your favorite mythical creature (Ie. Dragon). ")
    superhero_name = first_part + second_part
    return superhero_name


end = 1
name = []
while end > 0 :
    var = superhero_name_generator()
    name.append(var)
    print("your superhero name is {}".format(var))
    print("If you want to generate another name please press 1 to quit press 0")
    end = int(input())
else:
    
    print("Go out and save the world",name)

honestly that's a smart idea. thank you very much – Rafael Rubenstein Dec 03 '20 at 19:03 — Rafael Rubenstein, Dec 03 '20 at 19:03
